: Captain Kyd; or The Wizard of the Sea. Vol. I by Ingraham J H Joseph Holt - Seafaring life Fiction
CAPTAIN KYD;
OR,
THE WIZARD OF THE SEA.
A ROMANCE.
BY J. H. INGRAHAM
IN TWO VOLUMES.
NEW-YORK: HARPER & BROTHERS, 82 CLIFF-STREET. 1839.
"There's many a one who oft has heard The name of Robert Kyd, Who cannot tell, perhaps, a word Of him, or what he did.
"So, though I never saw the man, And lived not in his day, I'll tell you how his guilt began-- To what it led the way."
H. F. GOULD.
PREFACE
The following dramatic romance consists of two acts, with an interval of five years between them. The time and action of the first part, the scene of which is placed in the south of Ireland, are comprised in something less than three days; that of the second, the scenes of which are laid in New-York Bay and on its adjacent shores, embraces a somewhat longer space of time, the two comprising the most prominent crises of the hero's life--one giving the colouring to the whole of his subsequent career, which in the other is brought to its close.
